Stephen Colbert Cries, Sighs and Breaks Hearts

[foolishphilanthropy]

this is the saddest thing I've seen since I saw Mufasa die in 3D



[newcaptivate]

clever. it's weird to see what a different reaction it gets when you don't hear the "studio audience" laughter after every action he takes.

[communistjesus]

I WONDER HOW LONG IT TOOK TO WRITE THIS LAME A55 SONG????... THE AUTHOR WAS TAKING A 5HIT WHEN HE WROTE IT..

[octopuii]

@communistjesus 5ERIOU5LY.

[RRRX18]

EYES TO THE BACK OF THE ROOM!!! EYES TO THE BACK! XD

[OzJuggla]

I want to kiss away his tears... *sob*

[scotty]

For a moment there I thought the song was 'bird plane' check that one out.

[eskilla]

@scotty seriously, people - youtube search 'bird plane song'. I happen to know what this guy's talking about, it's a...truly inspirational song. Moving, and beautiful.

Also probably not safe for work.

[gary587]

Is it just me or does he look an awful lot like Jon Stewart at 0:47?

[KingCobraOutlaw]

hes being a sarcastic idiot to fuck with you people

[dannielllex]

hahaha what bit is 1:26 and those from??

[MrJohnMichaelHayes]

this be hella gay doh

[KennEMurray]

Stephen is one of the most under-rated performers around!

[xoxopr0ud]

He makes my heart melt

[SimpleRhymeCVH]

Ohmygod. I love the episode of "Strangers with Candy" that most of these clips are taken from, poor Mr. Jellineck.

Gotta feel for the unstoppable love between Chuck and Geoffrey. <3 HAH.

LOVE YOU STEPHEN.

[translucentorb]

@SimpleRhymeCVH Those lips... those pouty lips!!!!!!!!!!

[beefheart22]

LOL Awesome cut.  Almost makes me believe in a reverent side of the irreverent Stephen Colbert

[emilyrocks64]

what was :33 from and where can i see all of it?

[PowderedToastGirl]

That would probably be from an Exit 57 sketch or maybe a Dana Carvey Show sketch.

[emilyrocks64]

yeah i found it it was exit 57

[eirracoes]

@emilyrocks64 The "Past Love Regrets" bits are from the intro to the 7/18/2007 show.

[solsalev]

One question...what official episode of the Colbert Report (when he was wearing the gray suit) did Stephen's character appear to break down and cry. We'd like to watch this episode!!!

[eirracoes]

@solsalev It's from the Mitch Albom interview, which aired on April 23, 2008. I was curious too, so did a little research =)

[LisaLoops]

Oh dear, my obsession with this man is getting worse by the day!! LOL! I just LOVE him so much. Leave Evie and run away with me Stephen!!

[PowderedToastGirl]

You'll have to get past me first. If he ever leaves Evie, I have first dibs on him!

[bdriz16]

You should've put the footage of Mr. Jellyneck's face imploding...that would have been even better :-)

5/5 GREAT STUFF HERE!

[ajkl27]

OMG that was adorable. He does cry beautifully doesn't he?

p.s. I've gotta admit that, in his rare moments of seriousness, Colbert is oddly sexy.

[KelSIZooo]

this i have found true, in a strange way.

[Iwubchickenwubbins]

Colbert is Colbert, no matter what he does he will be a better person than all of us put together minus all the bad things we've done x2 all the good things we've done.

[KelSIZooo]

haha. he's like a god among men.

[roullettechick]

mm, what a yum yum!

[LisaLoops]

Oh and another thing, how sexy is he when he's all ruffled up in the 'Past love regrets' bit, pwoaarrrrr!

[Tamerica]

Damn sexy, that's how sexy.

I can see this man a bit intoxicated, hair all-a-ruffle, shirt slightly unbuttoned, just...

Woooow... His woman better feel damn lucky to have him at her disposal.

[LisaLoops]

Aww Stephen , you are just adorable! Breaks my heart, sniff, he just needs a big snuggle from an English lady!!!;-) WHY HAVE FX TAKEN THE COLBERT REPORT OFF?????? I'M VERY ANGRY!!!! I ONLY SIGNED UP TO SKY SO I COULD WATCH STEPHEN, GRRRRRR!

[1Bornconfused]

Who is the person he's interviewing in some of the segments? Granted you can only see their hand, but still. Awe, his crying just makes me laugh and breaks my heart at the same time!!

[Elinkubus]

There is really nobody who fake cries like Stephen. Hilarious and touching at the same time.

But where is the clip after O'Reilly "revealed" Stephen blew him? His heart-broken face was priceless in that one.

[kirikakirikakirika]

The older-looking clips are from Strangers with Candy and Exit 57.

[rageylady]

That clip from Hit and Run where he's holding the model hand cracks me up hardcore.

But no clips from To Be Young Gifted and Blank? He cried a lot in that one.

[RivaWitch]

What episode is 0:19 from

[jar0fdirt63]

♥he needs a hug♥

[theblackparade1039]

I never noticed it before, but when Stephen was young, he looked an awful lot like Robert Downey Jr.

[OrchestraNut]

You know, I was just about to say that. It's almost uncanny how alike they looked in their younger years. It's definitely not a bad thing though. ;-)

[alfonzo3000]

What Are Those Older Looking Parts From?

[randomthings6]

T he real old ones? - an old Comedy Central series called "Exit 57".

[ColbertPhilosopher]

I liked it. Good song choice and everything. But it would have been better had you not reused the same clips over and over again.

[randomthings6]

yeah i think the original maker did that because the clips were too long, so breaking it up like that creates more movement, but i see what you're saying.

[ShowOfPuppet]

By the end of that, I was laughing and crying at the same time - Colbert fake cries in a way that is both convincing and overdone. How he does it I do not know.

[RivaWitch]

Again these are great. I wish I could hear them too. NOBODY fake cries Like Mr. Colbert!

[bonniet01]

yeah me too, i'm just afraid it'll ruin the sentiment cus i'm sure whatever he's saying isn't as touching as we'd like lol =).

[RivaWitch]

That's true. I'm planing on getting the Best of..DVD I hope there are some "tears" in that one!

[bonniet01]

lol yeah there are, i've got that and played it to death, i hope they release a new one soon, can't wait for the christmas special DVD, i know it'll be great! lol

[RivaWitch]

I love it!

BTW what song is this?

[bonniet01]

"superman" by five for fighting

[vigwig]

Nobody does fake crying better

[markhayo]

Nice compilation. He hams it up as an actor, but in a good way. I remember him playing a forger in Law and Order: Criminal Intent, a programme that is paradise to all ham actors and their fans.
